BIBLE SCHOOL – Our teachers are anxious to start class on time – we hope our young people will co-operate.

       

DAILY MASS – I hate to sound negative but the attendance at daily Mass has not been good at all. Surely, more of our good people at Saint Peter might want to avail of this Great privilege of encountering the Lord in the Holy Eucharist.      

 

SINCERE THANKS – To our good people who worked hard to provide food after the funeral of Mary Marascalco, and also to those who helped with a very nice Liturgy.

 

R.I.P. - Eternal rest o Lord grant to the soul of Mary Marascalco and may God Bless her family.

 

RCIA – If anybody is interested and we hope there is some, in finding out more about our Catholic faith, or if you are not Catholic and are interested in studying the Catholic faith. Please let Father Ruane know or call the Rectory at 226-2490.

 

CHOOSE LIFE – “Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support.  Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women.”  (Refuse to Choose, Feminists for Life)
